Nine months after Mifflin Township trustees suspended their former police chief without comment,
they’ll swear in a new one.

Lt. William Price, who has been with the Mifflin Township Police Department for 25 years, will
be officially appointed chief on Nov. 4. He’s been acting chief since Feb. 4, when then-Chief
Michael Pocock was suspended after trustees came out of a closed meeting. Neither side has said
why.

Pocock, who was chief since 2005, had remained on paid leave until Oct. 4, when he and the
township severed their relationship.

Price will be paid $61,400 annually to lead the department, which has seven full-time officers
who patrol the 3.9 unincorporated square miles of the township.
